Articulate engineering unites geometric lines and exact planes to create the new Malvina faucet by Newport Brass.

within Newport Brass' California facility. An added feature, the
widespread faucet not only meets WaterSense requirements but surpasses

WETSTYLE announced that it broke ground on a new factory complex
in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville May 1. Strategically selected, the
factory's location will house the brand's expanded manufacturing
operations alongside a new dynamic showroom space. The factory will be

Native Trails'™ Santorini copper freestanding bathtub
is a winner of the 2018 Green GOOD DESIGN Award, honoring the best in
modern green design. Artisan-crafted and forged of high-quality recycled
copper, the Santorini soaker tub tells the story of generations of
Mexican artisanship. Through thousands of hammer strikes, and over the
course of several weeks, the work of Native Trails' master coppersmiths
reflects centuries of craft techniques that have been passed down and
continually refined. This is the fifth year the company has been
selected as a winner in the annual competition, which is sponsored by
the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and
The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. This year

Zitta's™ brand-new design concept, Espace,
adds innovative space saving ideas and new bath and shower design
models to their line that work for both small and big bathrooms. Zitta
has imagined a freestanding shower that would fit into any design
project, a truly unique design solution. The exclusive round shower
allows the base to be placed virtually anywhere in the room because the
plumbing is run from the freestanding column through the floor. The base
is made from high-quality acrylic and features a central drain with
drain cover. The freestanding shower comes with a shower column complete
with body jets, handshower, waterfall and a rain shower head. It
provides freedom of installation and many practical details like the
easy access panel and stainless steel anti-stain finish. The curved
shower glass possesses all the features and components Zitta is known
for, such as the ZittaClean glass treatment and the Zitta clip on the
door for easy cleaning. Every detail has been carefully thought through
to make the installation and use convenient and simple. One of the
layout options is to place the shower base against an outside wall
without having to worry about the pipes freezing in cold North American
winters or it can be simply used to create a unique design that provides
a modern twist to the room.

rubber padding on the bottom and sides of the sink, helping to prevent

corners simplify cleaning, while channel grooves at the sink base
provide improved drainage. The stainless steel Pekoe apron front kitchen
sinks - available in 30 and 33-inch sizes - are finished on three sides

California Faucets brings industrial chic style to the bath with the new Descanso™ series.
Featuring a cylindrical shape and a distinctive hash-mark textured
knurling detail on spout tip and handles, Descanso is a versatile
collection that makes a personal statement. With a variety of unique
accents to choose from and a complete line of coordinating bath
accessories, homeowners and designers can create a one-of-a-kind look
that's part raw, part rustic and all function with stylish lever or
cross handles offering precise, smooth operation. At the heart of the
Descanso Series is a cylindrical-shaped widespread lavatory faucet with
fluid lines and soft curves. The striking low-profile design is featured
in Burnished Brass, a new living finish that is lightly abraded to
create a worn, natural aged look that will patina over time. This
beautifully imperfect vintage finish sets the stylish tone for the
entire series, which includes a lever or cross handle option and a
choice of low-spout or swan-like arched spout. And for a variation,
there's a joystick option, which is ideal for smaller baths and powder
rooms. Joining the Descanso lavatory faucets is a full series that makes
pulling together a fully coordinated bath easy. There's a Roman Tub Set
Trim, which like the bath faucet is available in a low spout and an
arched version with a choice of handle styles. Plus, there's a full
range of coordinating accessories that helps further define the
industrial chic look. In addition to the signature look with knurling
detail and burnished brass finish, the Descanso series can be further

While some types of showers gently caress the skin like a summer rain, others give an invigorating massage. The new Rainshower 310 SmartActive showerhead from GROHE
offers the best of both worlds for a thoroughly satisfying shower every
time. Moreover, the juxtaposition of an extra-large shower head with a
slender shower arm introduces an exciting design dimension to the bath
setting. Available in round or square, and sporting a minimalist design
that promises an exceptional water experience, these showerheads will
harmonize perfectly with any modern bathroom design. The Rainshower 310
SmartActive showerheads use a special spray face to double the pleasure
of showering. Oval water outlets arranged in a star-shaped pattern at
the center of the spray face generate a vigorous massage jet. They are
surrounded by an arrangement of nozzles producing a much gentler
PureRain spray. Users can choose between a concentrated jet to loosen up
tense muscles and a rainshower softly enveloping their body. The shower
can be energizing and invigorating, or soothing and relaxing, to
provide a deeply satisfying shower session. Both shower faces are
available in starlight chrome and the round option is also available in
brushed nickel infinity finish.

construction, gleaming polished chrome finish and ENGLISHCAST® basin
top. With an open design and minimalist lines, the collection was
created in collaboration with Italian designers Meneghello Paolelli
Associati, known for its ability to refine classic designs so pieces
will work equally well in modern or traditional environments. The
washstands are available with 0, 1 or 3 faucet holes so the designer or
homeowner can choose faucets that best suit the bathroom's design. The
generous width of the basin tops means that there's ample room for
toiletries on the surface of the washstand, in addition to the storage
shelf beneath. Each washstand also features an adjustable screw on the
two legs for perfect levelling.
- The Candella (pictured) washstands are typified
by the design of the legs, which feature elegantly shaped details. A
towel bar and a storage shelf in toughened glass are practical yet well
designed, lending a sense of hotel style to the bathroom. The Candella
is available in two sizes; Candella 114 (45-1/8" W), which is topped
with a sleek Mandello 114 Solo basin, or the Candella 100 (39-3/8" W),
topped with a Victorian-inspired Lario 100 Solo basin.
- The Metallo washstands
offer right angle tee joints that reference traditional bathroom
pipework, looking equally at home in a more historic period bathroom or
industrial-inspired scheme. Each washstand features a practical towel
bar and a shelf for storage, finished in a tubular brass. The Metallo is
available in two sizes; Metallo 114 (45-1/8" W), which is topped with a
sleek Mandello 114 Solo basin, or the Metallo 100 (39-3/8" W), topped
with a Victorian-inspired Lario 100 Solo basin.
Watermark Designs has introduced new mini-thermostatic valves
that still incorporate filters and check valves that can be accessed
from behind the trim plate. Once you see a back plate that measures only
3 1/2" in diameter, any other back plate will look obscenely large.
The radiant has been a popular heated towel rack option for AMBA Products,
so they are expanding the collection to include larger models for
maximum towel hanging space. Similar to their smaller companions, the Radiant Large
features an integrated switch. Radiant Large models will only be
available in hardwired versions, but will give customers an additional
10 inches of hanging space! Stay tuned, more information on availability
is coming soon. Models will include:
- RADIANT LARGE HARDWIRED STRAIGHT - 23 5/8" x 41 5/16"; 150 watts and 1.3 amps
- RADIANT LARGE HARDWIRED CURVED - 23 5/8" x 41 5/16"; 150 watts and 1.3 amps

Grandeur Hardware

featuring bold hues inspired by the darkest midnight sky. Both offer

Somewhere between icy white gold and warm, sophisticated yellow is the soft glow of the popular Rose Gold finish. Sterlingham Company Ltd.
has embraced this candy-coated trend in the midst of often impersonal
metallic and is now offering a Rose Gold finish on the brand's line of
bath accessories. At once modern, romantic, and somehow unexpected, Rose
Gold was created in nineteenth-century Russia, when Carl Fabergé (of
Fabergé egg fame) opted to blend yellow gold with copper to create the
alchemic, blush-toned hybrid, originally called "Russian gold." Its
popularity cemented within the market, Rose Gold has since sprinkled
everything from bath fittings to our favorite gadgets with its welcome
flecks of pink. Rose Gold is the perfect complement to Sterlingham's
fine line of bathroom accessories. From toilet paper holders to shower
baskets and towel bars to towel hooks (like the model shown Double Coat
Hook) the Rose Gold finish joins the brand's stunning finish options
such as polished brass, polished chrome, polished or matte nickel,
antique gold, copper and bronze. Each component in Sterlingham's bath
accessory line is hand polished and assembled after plating.

Franz Viegener recently announced the decision to ban online sales
of its products. The decision was made to ensure and preserve brand
quality and service while also supporting its Authorized Dealer network
that has an investment and strategic alliance with the company. A part
of the strategy also precludes showing any pricing on the Internet or
allowing any of its dealers to sell the products online. John Weinstein,
North American director said, "We encourage our dealers to promote our
beautiful products online so they're searchable, however, we want the
purchasing experience to be personal; offering our showroom sales staff
the opportunity to be part of the sales process. By doing this, both the
consumer and the sales associate have a stake in the movement of
product. This strategy offers the consumer the ability to easily address
any product questions or concerns while affording the sales associate
an opportunity to advise, offer care information or suggest other items
which may be required to complete the installation."
